Life is not about dying ... Life is all about living as though the breath you breathe is your very last, as though the love you know is more precious than time, itself, and shall last far longer than any lifetime could be imagined, as though, within that perfect moment of time, you have met your very reason's purpose of existence, in living, dying, and trying to cling, most desperately, to that very essence of truest expression of real and heartfelt love that you well might never experience, ever, ever of never, again in a world become empty, bland, and darker without her ... And she was mine, the light and love of my life, my wife of 49 years, Irma ...!

I am a piss poor excuse for a Poet, and I know it, and to hell with the meter and rhyme: To all you young people who take true love as cheap, easy, and readily found to find:  IT AIN'T!  Never take Love for granted, nor sell it down the drain of foolishly thinking to find love, True Love, somewheres else, for that one time, within all your life's Time of living, may just well be the one and only time that you ever see, ever touch, ever feel, True Love, within that entirety of your minuscule lifetime ...

You find her? ... Always keep your arms around her ... And ... FOOL! ... Never, ever, let her go! -- Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham

Author's Memorial Note:  During our many years together, we had many songs which we considered as our songs, but this one song without words says more than words and time of any time within all time could say as to that which we felt for one another:  Passion by The Gypsy Kings.  I do hope you will take a moment to listen and learn of Passion that does not die, nor end in death, but lives on ever brightly shining as cherished memories of a broken heart...

I agree with Jacob’s comment. When in writing you can open a vein and use blood as ink while remaining intelligible you have accomplished greatness regardless what critics might say.

Did you take a moment to listen to the powerful message of the song?

No, but I will.

Amazing guitar playing

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are certainly not a piss-poor excuse for a poet....you are very honest poet
who doesn't hide behind superfluous, pretentious language. You lay your feelings right out there
and with passion that comes from the gut.
